Archaeologists uncover 'find of a lifetime' tomb

Archaeologists in Ireland have uncovered a 5,500-year-old megalithic passage tomb which has been dubbed the "find of a lifetime".

Archaeological research carried out by argi-technology company Devenish and University College Dublin (UCD) School of Archaeology unearthed the "significant" discovery in Co Meath.

The excavation uncovered the new find in the Bru na Boinne - Boyne Valley Tombs - World Heritage Site.

The spate of archaeological discoveries in Brú na Bóinne in recent weeks highlights what a globally significant place this is". - Dr Stephen Davis, @ucdarchaeologypic.twitter.com/Y0tzbH8G49
